About this app

Struggling with doomscrolling? Boring Launcher? Constantly distracted by alerts? ZenMode is a mindful home screen replacement designed to help you reduce screen time, block distractions, and reclaim your focus. Whether you need to study, work, or just unplug, ZenMode makes digital minimalism an engaging, shared experience.

✨ CORE FEATURES FOR PRODUCTIVITY & FOCUS

• Mindful Scrolling: Catch yourself before you fall down the rabbit hole. Our mindful scrolling alerts gently interrupt endless feeds, helping you stay aware of your time.
• Mindful Unlocks: Take a breath before you dive in. ZenMode introduces intentional friction before you unlock your phone, breaking the habit of reflexive checking.
• Zen Buddy Accountability: Don't do it alone! Pair up with a Zen Buddy to practice mindful usage together. Keep each other accountable and motivated on your digital detox journey.
• Random Zen Buddy Connect: Need an accountability partner? Instantly connect with a random fellow focus-seeker from around the world to share your wellbeing goals.
• Emoji Reactions: Cheer each other on! React to your Zen Buddy’s daily progress and milestones with quick, fun emoji reactions to keep the momentum going.
• Minimalist Launcher: Replace your cluttered home screen with a clean, text-based interface. Access only the apps you need and hide the ones you don't.

🛡️ SECURE & PRIVATE

Your digital wellbeing is our priority. We handle your data with care:
• Required Google Sign-In: To seamlessly sync your data and connect you securely with your Zen Buddy, Google Sign-In is mandatory.
• Encrypted Connections: Your data, accountability streaks, and buddy interactions are kept safe with industry-standard encryption.
• Safe Cloud Backup: Never lose your focus settings. Your layout and preferences are automatically backed up to your account.

🔐 PERMISSIONS EXPLAINED
We believe in total transparency. ZenMode requires the following permissions to function as a powerful anti-distraction tool:
• AccessibilityService API: Required for the 'Quick Lock' UI button and local app tracking. This is used safely and does not collect or share personal data outside of app functionality.
• Usage Access: Necessary to generate accurate screen time statistics and power the mindful scrolling alerts.
• Notification Access: Required to filter out distractions and keep your focus intact.

Perfect for ADHD management, studying, deep work, or anyone joining the digital minimalism movement.

Join the mindful movement. Focus more, scroll less.
